Sir:  When  I  submitted  estimates  for  the  tA^.-ji.uitu:^:^  o.  luis 
Bureau,  for  the  period  ending  3l)th  June  next,  I  stated  to  you, 
that  I  could  only  furni.sh  an  approximate  result,  in  consequence  of  the 
tardiness  of  the  contractors  in  presenting  their  bills.  I  have  since 
ascertained,  that  the  following  additional  appropriations  will  be  neces- 
sary : 

For  printing,  ruling,  and  binding,  for  the  several  Executive 

Departments,  twenty-five  thousand  dollars,  $25,000 

For  printing,  ruling,  and  binding,  for  both  Houses  of  Con- 
gress, (including  the  printing  of  the  laws  in  the  author- 
ized form,)  ten  thousand  dollars,  !$]  0,000 

For  the  purchase  of  paper  for  the  several  Executive  i^epart- 

ments  and  Congress,  twenty  thousand  dollars,  $20,00o 

Very  respectfully.
